For the next couple of days Houston will hover between high pressure to the east and more moist air.

This effectively means we’ll see a couple of humid days with highs in the low 80s, lows in the low 70s, and scattered rain chances. Like on Tuesday, rain will be most likely along the coast. More than 2 inches fell in some Galveston County locations.

Therefore forecast models now indicate the heavier rain will be delayed until Friday night through Sunday — basically the entire weekend.

It still appears as though most of the region will see 2 to 5 inches of rain this weekend, which is unlikely enough to cause widespread flooding.

Rains end on Monday as slightly cooler and drier air moves into the region.

Hi humidity —

you’re back, and bad for big hair,

but so good for skin.
